[GRASS-dev] Re: gis.m, thematic layer: You must open a display monitor

[Michael Barton]

I have no idea. Perhaps I'm imagining things, but I swear that I'm seeing a
LOT more of these messages recently--with their deleterious effects on
scripting. Hamish says they've been there all along. I'm suspecting that the
code for the message has existed, but they did not get parsed for some
reason. But that is just speculation.
